- TriviaPrologue: "WASHINGTON-- The policies of a great nation are molded by prominent men, but behind those men these men stand women, guiding their husband's destinies--using the same devices that the feminine sex has always used throughout the ages."
"The hand that rocks the cradle rocks the capital, which only goes to prove that wives are women in Kankakee or Washington D.C."
"While this story and all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in it are fictitious, and no identification with actual persons, living or deceased, is intended or should be inferred, it may have happened!--It could have happened!"
- GoofsLucy says that Irene wants to make Gordon president; she would then divorce her prominent husband and marry him. But this would be considered so scandalous the president could not do it.
